9/11 Tribute

…..Mayor Rudolph Guiliani
…..Paul Simon
…..Lorne Michaels

[ open on New York Mayor Rudolph Guiliani standing at Home Base surrounded by two dozen members of the New York Fire and Police Department ]

Mayor Rudolph Guiliani: Good evening. Since September 11th, many people have called New York a city of heroes. Well, these are the heroes. The brave men and women of the New York Fire Department, the New York Police Department, the Port Authority Police Department, Fire Commissioner Tom Von Essen, and Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik.

On September 11th, more lives were lost than on any other single day in America’s history. More than Pearl Harbor, and more than D-Day. The men, women and children who were in the World Trade Center came from across the country and 80 different nations. They were living their lives and pursuing their dreams, and they, too, are remembered as heroes. On our city’s darkest day, our heroes met the worst of humanity with the best of humanity. Their acts of heroism saved more than 25,000 lives. But even as we grieve for our loved ones, it’s up to us to face our future with renewed determination. Our hearts are broken, but they are beating, and they are beating stronger than ever. New Yorkers are unified. We will not yield to terrorism. We will not let our decisions be made out of fear. We choose to live our lives in freedom.

[ camera pans to the adjacent stage, where Paul Simon is ready on guitar ]

Paul Simon: [ singing “The Boxer” ]
“I am just a poor boy.
Though my story’s seldom told,
I have squandered my resistance
For a pocketful of mumbles,
Such are promises
All lies and jest
Still, a man hears what he wants to hear
And disregards the rest.

When I left my home and my family,
I was no more than a boy
In the company of strangers
In the quiet of the railway station,
Running scared, laying low,
Seeking out the poorer quarters
Where the ragged people go,
Looking for the places
Only they would know.

Lie-la-lie …

Asking only workman’s wages
I come looking for a job,
But I get no offers,
Just a come-on from the whores
On Seventh Avenue.
I do declare,
There were times when I was so lonesome
I took some comfort there.

Now the years are rolling by me,
They are rocking evenly.
I am older than I once was,
Younger than I’ll be,
That’s not unusual.
No, it isn’t strange,
After changes upon changes,
We are more or less the same.
After changes we are more or less the same.

Lie-la-lie …

Then I’m laying out my winter clothes
And wishing I was gone
Going home
Where the New York City winters
Aren’t bleeding me,
Leading me,
Going home.

In the clearing stands a boxer,
And a fighter by his trade
And he carries the reminders
Of ev’ry glove that laid him down
Or cut him till he cried out
In his anger and his shame,
“I am leaving, I am leaving.”
But the fighter still remains.

Lie-la-lie … “

[ camera pans back to Mayor Rudolph Guiliani and company, as Lorne Michaels joins them on stage ]

Lorne Michaels: On behalf of everyone here, I just want to thank you all for being here tonight, especially you, sir.

Mayor Rudolph Guiliani: Thank you, Lorne. Thank you very much. Having our city’s institutions up and running sends a message that New York City is open for business. “Saturday Night Live” is one of our great New York City institutions, and that’s why it’s important for you to do your show tonight.

Lorne Michaels: Can we be funny?

Mayor Rudolph Guiliani: Why start now? “Live, from New York! It’s Saturday Night!”

CBS Evening Anthrax Update

Dan Rather…..Darrell Hammond

Dan Rather: Good evening. This is the CBS Evening Anthrax Update, Dan Rather reporting. Here are tonight’s new developments.

At this hour, officials of the Center For Disease Control are confirming the presence of anthrax spores at three new locations: my desk here at CBS Nightly News, my basement weight room, and my breakfast nook. Right now, individuals known to have worked at or visited these locations are being tested for anthrax, and at the moment we have any details we’ll pass them along to you.

Hold on. [ presses earpiece ] Alright. This just in. CBS News now comfirming that I.. have.. anthrax. Now, as you can imagine, this comes as a major disappointment to me personally. And, I don’t mind telling you that I’m madder than a rained-on rooster about it. But listen, let’s make one thing clear from the get-go – anthrax or no anthrax, I’m gonna stay right here to bring you any new developments as soon as we get them.

And here’s one now. CBS News is now projecting that over at NBC News, Tim Russert.. has.. anthrax. He may not know it yet, and he may be feeling as strong as an acre of garlic. But, nonetheless, CBS News is confident that when all the test results are in, Tim Russert will have anthrax.

And, here’s another. Over at ABC News, CBS now projects that Ted Koppel and Peter Jennings both have anthrax. Ted Koppel, inflammational; Peter Jennings, geltaneous.

And, over at CNBC, CBS is now projecting that Geraldo Rivera also has anthrax. Both kinds.

Now.. this, next, is something of an upset. Back at NBC, CBS is now projecting that Katie Couric does not.. have.. anthrax. I repeat: does not have anthrax. Now, this will come as a bitter disappointment to many conservatives who had high hopes the perky liberal “Today Show” host would contract the disease, at least in its geltaneous form. But tonight, they’re going home empty-handed, while over at Couric-ville they’re dancing in the streets.

Uh-oh! hold on to your hats, folks. In perhaps the biggest surprise of the night, CBS News now projecting that down at CNN, anchor Wolf Blitzer has both anthrax and rabies. Details are sketchy at this time, but apparently the highly-respected newsman was bitten by a squirrel caught in his attic vent.

So, to sum up where we tand at the moment – Rather, anthrax; Russert, anthrax; Koppel and Jennings, anthrax; Rivera, anthrax; Couric, no anthrax; Blitzer, anthrax, attacked by a squirrel.

This just in, and it is a big one. Carl, get off the phone, Mabel, get into the kitchen ,you’re gonna want to hear this. CBS News is now projecting that Walter Cronkite has scurvy. In addition, the veteran news anchor may – and, I repeat, may – have anthrax. Wait, hold on.. he does have anthrax. Alright, another shocker, right here at CBS. We’re now prjecting that Andy Rooney has cholera. Now, many will ask, how did the popular “60 Minutes” curmudgeon contract this rare disease? One theory – and at this point, it’s just a theory – is that he may have drunk stagnant water from an air conditioner, believing it to be Scotch. Also, he has anthrax.

Alright, get the digitalis. CBS News has now another projection to make, and, believe me, it is a bombshell. Carl, come back into the living room, Mabel, get a pad and pencil ’cause you’re gonna want to write this down. CBS News now projects that over at NBC, the entire cast of “Friends” has head lice. Now, in light of this development, many will be certain to second-guess Jennifer Aniston’s marriage to Brad Pitt, because, at the moment, her new hairdo has more unauthorized guests than a Mexican Motel 6.

Alright, folks. This has been a night of surprises, and here’s one more. Carl, go down to the basement. Mabel, get in here, take your clothes off, and put these shoes on. Also the hat. Now, put one leg up on that chair, arch your back and listen to this, ‘cause it’s a humdinger. [ pause ] CBS News is now projecting that Walter Cronkite has gonorrhea. Now, with anthrax, scurvy, and yellow fever, the last thing he needs is the clap. But he’s got it, and he’s got it good. If I was a betting man, I’d say his chances of survival are slim and none – and slim just left town.

Now, this raises the question: how confident are we here at CBS News that our projections are accurate? Plenty confident. When we make a projection, you can take it to the bank. Our record is quite simply the best in the business, and if we say somebody has anthrax, believe me, he’s got anthrax! This just in: CBS is now confirming that none of the people we have reported tonight as having anthrax actually have anthrax. I repeat: nobody has anthrax. No, wait. I.. still.. have anthrax. But I’m not going anywhere, and you can bet that when more details become available, I’ll be right here to bring them to you.

Dan Rather, CBS News. Good night.

Little Sleuths

Lieutenant…..Horatio Sanz
Bookie Newton…..Seth Meyers
Sam…..Amy Poehler

Lieutenant: Maroney? you’re not making headway in this case. I think you mightn eed some help on this one.

Detective Maroney: Not now, Lieutenant. I’m too close, I can taste it!

Lieutenant: John, it’s been five months. Now, we’re getting some heat from upstairs. We need to crack this case, pronto!

Detective Maroney: I’m not taking on a new partner. John Maroney works alone.

Lieutenant: It’s too late. Meet your new partner.

[ kid detective Bookie Newton enters ]

Bookie Newton: Hi, there!

Lieutenant: This is Bookie Newton.

Bookie Newton: Detective Bookie Newton!

Lieutenant: [ chuckles ] You’re not a detective yet, kiddo!

Bookie Newton: Well, I am an amateur sleuth.

Detective Maroney: You can’t be more than twelve years old!

Bookie Newton: Ahh.. twelve and seven months. Nice detective work, partner!

Lieutenant: Alright.. I’m gonna let you – and your partner – get to know each other. [ returns to his desk ]

Detective Maroney: Uh.. look, uh.. Bookie, is it? I’ve been a detective for twenty-five years, and this is a pretty gruesome case! Maybe it’s, uh.. a little out of your league.

Bookie Newton: I’ll have you know I’ve seen some pretty heavy stuff in my day. Like The Case of the Missing Shopping Bag.. and The Case of the Rented Canoes. and The Case of the Stinky sneakers!

Detective Maroney: Yeahh.. those sound like some real tough cases to crack.

[ Sam bounces into the office ]

Sam: Hey! I locked up our Slueth Cycles – AKA, our bikes!

Bookie Newton: This is my kid sister, Sam.

Sam: I’m not a kid!

Bookie Newton: Here we go again..

Detective Maroney: Hey, I’ve got a case for you two – how about solving The Case of.. [ tosses pen across the room ] ..The Missing Pen?

Bookie Newton: Don’t underestimate our sleuthing powers of observation.

Sam: [ to Maroney ] I’ve already picked up a few clues about you!

Bookie Newton: Spill the beans, Sis!

Sam: Well.. he’s a detective, his name is John Maroney, and he loves to smoke!

Bookie Newton: But how did you know?

Sam: First, you told me we were gonna meet a detective..

Bookie Newton: Hmm..

Sam: Then, his name plate says “John Marney”..

Bookie Newton: Hmm..

Sam: And he has an ashtray filled with stinker-butts!

Bookie Newton: Hmm..

Together: Case closed! [ laugh ]

Sam: [ looking next to the ashtray ] Ooohh.. candy!

Bookie Newton: No, Sam! Candy makes you hyper, and I’m allergic to peanuts and bees..

Sam: Mmm-hmm..

Bookie Newton: On account of us being partners, I just thought you should know, that in a peanut or bee situation, I will be slightly less reliable. However.. if there are no penauts, and no bees, then you can-

Detective Maroney: [ interrupting ] Alright, fine!! You want to help me solve this case? [ slueths nod ] Here it is! We found a dead prostitute on Route 4.. somebody cut off her hands and feet.. and shoved a deli menu in her mouth!

[ the slueths tremble slightly ]

Bookie Newton: Can we have a.. second, please..?

Sam: Uh.. uh..

[ the sleuths form a huddle, arguing the case and Sam’s desire for candy, then they return to Maroney ]

Sam: First thing we need to do is find out what a prostitute is.

Bookie Newton: That’s where our Latin comes in handy.

Sam: Let’s break it down.. “Pro” means..

Bookie Newton: Professional!

Sam: Mm-hmm! And “stitute” sounds like.. “substitute”.

Bookie Newton: A professional substitute!

Together: Hmm… who would want to kill a professional substitute teacher??

Sam: And why would a professional substitute teacher want to eat a menu!

Bookie Newton: Maybe it’s a clue!

Together: Hmmmm….

Bookie Newton: Let’s start with the menu!

Sam: Well, a menu is made of paper..

Bookie Newton: And paper’s made of trees..

Sam: And trees grow in the forest!

Detective Maroney: [ starting to get it ] Yeah.. yeah.. this is starting to make some sense..

Sam: Yeah, yeah! and forest rangers wear badges!

Bookie Newton: Just like police officers!

Sam: And.. and police officers are heros!

All Together: Which is also the name of a sandwich!!

[ music sting, as Lieutenant chokes up the hero sandwich he’s eating ]

Lieutenant: That whore deserved it! I’ve got a wife and kids! That slut was gonna ruin everything!

Detective Maroney: [ outraged ] You disgust me! [ to police officers ] Take him away, guys! I doubted you little sleuths, but you proved me wrong. I’ll work with youse two’s any time! How can I ever repay you?

Sam: Candy!

Bookie Newton: Cool it, Sam! Well, we’ve gotta go. There’s a question to the validity of a prize-winning fish in the local fishing contest.

Sam: It’s called The Case of the Doubtful Trout.

Bookie Newton: Plus.. I just learned how to masturbate.. so I kinda wanna get home!

Sam: Hey, uh.. Bookie? what’s “masturbate”?

Bookie Newton: Break it down!

Sam: Okay. Well, to “master” means “to be in control”..

Bookie Newton: Mmm-hmm!

Sam: And “bait” is a “little worm”.

Bookie Newton: Mmm-hmm!

Sam: Mmm-hmm!

[ Sleuths make their exit ]

Detective Maroney: [ slaps his cheek ] Oh, those little sleuths!

[ reveals t-shirt with Randy’s face X’d out ] ..so, Randy, if you’re watching.. you don’t have to ignore me any more, because I don’t like you like that. But I do like your new haircut with the long pieces on the side – it’s awesome! Anyway.. our guest is the President of the Spanish Club. Some people say that she’s super stuck-up, but I don’t know, we’ll see.

We’re gonna have about twenty of the school’s best jugglers out by the track, juggling fruit. And.. then when they’re done, we’re gonna give all the bruised fruit to the elderly to eat.. so it’s good and soft. It’s a good cause, hope to see you there.

Randy Goldman: Oh, hey, Melanie. how was your summer? [ exits with Gretchen ]

Megan: Oh, my summer was good.. My name’s not Melanie.. Hey, guys, wait up! [ runs over to the window ]

Sheldon: Um.. also.. one final announcement. Um.. lately, there’s been a big problem with certain people pushing certain other people into the second floor girl’s bathroom and holding the door shut, um.. making certain people late for orchestra class.. which happens to be certain people’s favorite class.. so.. let’s just keep that to a minimum. Back to you, Megan.

Megan: I am over here at the viewer window.. where Randy and Gretchen are totally making out..! That’s cool, I don’t even care! But if my heart had a mouth, and it could speak, it would say that I cherish you, Randy Wayne Goldman.. and, though in my life I may take many lovers, you will forever be my brown-eyed SFOC – Super Fox of the Century. [ singing ] “I want to stand with you on the mountains..”

Randy Goldman: I can totally hear you! This is plastic!

Megan: Ohhh.. that’s cool! I was just joshing! I know joshing’s not a word, but.. it’s all good! Well, that’s all the time we have.

Sheldon: Signing off, I’m Sheldon.

Reese Witherspoon’s Monologue

…..Reese Witherspoon

Reese Witherspoon: Thank you. I’m so happy and honored to be here tonight, and, most of all, I’m happy that you all are here with me. We’ve never done a show under these circumstances, so we’re still finding our way. But I promise you that we’re gonna give it everything we’ve got. So, this is the part of the show where the host usually say something funny, but I don’t know any jokes. I know one joke, but it has a bad word in it.. so I probably shouldn’t tell it, should I?

[ audience eggs her on to tell the joke anyway ]

Okay.. you asked for it. Here it goes:

There’s this polar bear couple, and they have this beautiful polar bear baby. And they’re so happy, they can’t believe it, he’s just the cutest, sweetest polar bear cub. And he learns to run really fast, and he learns to talk early.. and the first question he asks his mother is, “Mom? Am I a real polar bear?” And his mother says, “Yes, you’re a real polar bear. I’m a polar bear, and your daddy’s a polar bear.. so, of course, you’re a polar bear.”

So the baby polar bear is growing stronger every day, and he learns to fish before any of the other baby polar bears, and his parents are just really proud of him. And after a few months, the baby polar bear comes up to his mom and asks, “Mom, are you sure I’m pure polar bear?” And his mother says, “Yes, honey, we’re polar bears. Your grandma and grandpa are polar bears.. you’re pure polar bear.” And he says, “Okay.”

Then, on the baby polar bear’s first birthday, his parents throw him a huge party, and all the polar bears come, because they love him so much, and as the baby polar bear is about to blow out the candles on his cake, he turns to his mother and he asks, “Mom, are you sure I’m 100% pure polar bear?” “Yes, you are 100% pure polar baer. But why do you keep asking me that?” And the baby polar bear says, “Because I’m freezing my balls off!”

So.. that’s my joke! Alicia Keys is here to help us have a good time. So, stick around and see what happens!

Announcer: We now return to the classic story of “The Little Mermaid”.

[ open on Sailor coming to in the sand on a deserted island ]

Sailor: Oh.. the shipwreck.. I survived.. but how? [ sees Little Mermaid sitting on a rock ] You! You’re the beautiful creature that saved my life!

Little Mermaid: I’ve been watching your ship from afar.

Sailor: I’ve never seen anyone so beautiful.

Sailor: “I feel like I never..” [ stops abruptly ] ..whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! What was that?

Little Mermaid: I said, I feel an increased flow of mucus in my fish genitalia.

Sailor: I’m not following.

Little Mermaid: Well, you see, when I feel this way about somebody so special, I release extra slime to lubricate the scaly membrane that closes off my egg sac.

“So now my heart feels..”
Sailor: No, no, no, no! Wait, wait, wait, wait! Hang on a second! You mean to tell me that, down there, you’ve got fish business going on?

Little Mermaid: What’d you expect, silly?

Sailor: [ grossed out ] But, wait.. when you get up on land, you grow legs, right?

Little Mermaid: Of course, I do!

Sailor: Oh.. thank God!

Little Mermaid: Yes, the legs are human, but believe you me, the hoohah’s all mackeral!

Sailor: [ thinking ] Okay. Really nice meeting you. [ gets up to leave ]

Little Mermaid: Oh, I get it! You think I’m ugly because we’re different.

Sailor: No, it’s not like that.. it’s just that..

Little Mermaid: Well, we may be different on the outside; but inside, I think you’ll find we share the same heart.

Sailor: [ thinking ] Maybe you’re right.

Little Mermaid: “Below the waves, our hearts will know the differences outside.”

Sailor: It’s true!

Little Mermaid: “I love all creatures equally, wherever they reside.”

Sailor: That’s lovely!

Little Mermaid: “I get it on with tuna
I’ve gone down on a shark!
I’ve got films of me with a manatee..!”

Sailor: Alright, alright! That’s enough! That’s enough!

Little Mermaid: What’s wrong?

Sailor: You have sex with fish?!

Little Mermaid: Fish, shrimp, turtles.. I’ll pretty much bend over for anything with fins.

Sailor: Okay, I don’t think it’s gonna work out between us. In fact, I think it’s physically impossible.

Little Mermaid: Oh, it’s possible, alright! It is. Where do you think I came from?

Sailor: Well.. wasn’t your father a Merman, and..?

Little Mermaid: What?! Oh, no way! My father’s just some dude who got drunk one night and broke into an aquarium to get freaky with a halibut.

Dad: [ walks across the sand clutching a fish in his arms ] He-ey-ey! There you are, darling! I was thinking of getting some ribs with your ma here!

Sailor: [ appalled ]You had sex with that fish?

Dad: Oh, yeah.. I’ve had sex with a lot of stuff!

Sailor: Where am I?!

Dad: “Oh, I’ve had sex with a lot of stuff
from a can of soup to a dirty old mutt.
But this old dirt-bag got his wish
When he found a fish filled with dirt-bag fish!”

Sailor: Okay, that’s it, I’m out of here..

Dad: “Deep down below the waves.”

Fish Chorus: “Deep down below the waves.”

Lara, you looked so beautiul in your dress. And Audrey, I have never seen anyone look so pretty in a blazer.

Marty Culp: Off the woofers? Off the woofers?

Bobbi Mohan-Culp: No? No?

Marty Culp: I guess we’ll make do. Hello. I’m Marty Culp, and I’m here with my life partner, Bobbi Mohan-Culp.

Bobbi Mohan-Culp: I hope you weren’t expecting the Indiglow Girls. Well, we are professional musicians.

Marty Culp: Yes. We normally head up the musical department over at Alta Dena Middle School, but today, we’re here as Lara’s very proud aunt and uncle.

Bobbi Mohan-Culp: And we sure are fans of her new wife and fellow park ranger, Audrey.

Marty Culp: When the… when the tent’s a-rockin’ don’t come a-knockin’, gals.

[microphone feeds back]

Bobbie Mohan-Culp: Whoops. Got a real hot one here.

Marty Culp: Ohh, real hot – very hot. Can we get a…

Bobbie Mohan-Culp: Even though – even though we’ve never been actual gays ourselves, we’re no strangers to exploration.

Marty Culp: Amen. Heck, everyone gets a little bi-curious at some point in their sexual development.

Bobbi Mohan-Culp: Case in point, as a young girl, I spent many hours playing “Find the Boobies” with a neighbor friend, Margarite.

Marty Culp: And I have to admit, as recently as last summer, taking an all-male African dance class often left me both confused and engorged.

Bobbi Mohan-Culp: Tribal movement can be a big turn-on, people.

Marty Culp: Absolutely. To the young man in the sequin dress, I don’t appreciate you referring to my wife as a side of bitch salad.

Bobbi Mohan-Culp: Anyways, Lara, Audrey, we honor and celebrate your same sex union.

Marty Culp: And because we love you, we’ll never forget you’re here, you’re queer, so let’s get this funk in gear! 1, 2, 3, 4…

Oh yes, it’s ladies’ night
Oh, what a niiiiight!”

Bobbi Mohan-Culp: Hit me.

Bobbi Mohan-Culp: “STOP!”

Both: “You can’t stop me now!
Listen to me now!”

Marty Culp: “Get your freak on!”

Bobbi Mohan-Culp: “Now go!”

Marty Culp: “Get your freak on!”

Marty Culp: “HOLLA!”

Both: “Get your freak on!”

Marty Culp: I believe there are two young ladies that will be getting their freak on this evening.

Bobbi Mohan-Culp: Whole lotta passion.

Marty Culp: Yeah.

Bobbi Mohan-Culp: Whole lotta passion.

Marty Culp: “Lady, when you’re with you, I’m smiling.”

Both: “Give me all yoi-yoi-yoi-your love!
Your hands fill me up when I’m sinking!
Touch me and my troubles all fade…”

Domo arigoto, Mrs. Lesboto!”

Bobbi Mohan-Culp: “Marty, can you handle this?”

Marty Culp: “Bobbi, can I handle this?”

Bobbi Mohan-Culp: “I don’t think you can handle this!
I don’t think you’re ready for this jelly!”

Marty Culp: “I don’t think I’m ready for this jelly!”

Bobbi Mohan-Culp: “I don’t think you’re ready for this ’cause my body too bootylicious for you babe!”

Marty Culp: “Your body’s too bootylicious for you babe!”

Both: “She bangs, she bangs!
Oh, baby, when she moves, she moves,
I go crazy ’cause she looks like a flower but she stings like a bee,
like every girl in history!”

[playing Jay-Z’s “IZZO”]

Marty Culp: Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the eighth wonder of the world. The flow of the century, it’s timeless. Ho-oh!

Bobbi Mohan-Culp: “H to the izzo, V to the izzay!”

Marty Culp: “Shizzle my nizzle used to dribble down in V.A.!”

Bobbi Mohan-Culp: “H to the homo, L to the lezzay!”

Both: “That’s the anthem, get your damn hands up!
That’s the anthem, get your damn hands up!
That’s the anthem, get your damn hands up!”

“Oh, yes, it’s ladies’ night,
and the feeling’s riiiiiight!”

Bobbi Mohan-Culp: Congratulations, girls. Congratulations.
